CanJam has reportedly been doing well, having being premiered on local and international radio recently.
The songs have been receiving rotation at various events in the partially reopened Jamaican entertainment sphere.
“This is our offering to the dancehall music lovers and the expression of our music to Canadians and the global landscape,” said co-producer of the rhythm, Eddie Wisdom of Wisdom Promotion, who is based in Brantford, Canada.
“The riddim is straight fire, and the reception so far is motivating.” CanJam rhythm is mixed and mastered by DJ Franco of Ovation Lab.
Internationally renowned DJ Kass created a mix for CanJam, which has been creating a buzz on its own, while Calumbean Sound from Canada included the rhythm on its newly released
mixtape.
